POLL: Safest Cities In Florida For 2019

August 27, 2019 — BackgroundChecks.org has published its annual report on the safest cities in each U.S. state for 2019.

Florida's top five safest cities are:

  1. Sweetwater
  2. Naples
  3. Key Biscayne
  4. Coral Gables
  5. Satellite Beach

According to the website, "Florida’s safest city is Sweetwater, a community of over 20,000 in Miami-Dade County often known as “Little Managua” for its high concentration of Nicaraguan Americans. Sweetwater earned its high Safety Index score due its low violent crime rate, which is well below the national average, and a very high law enforcement employees to residents ratio of 5.81 per 1K."

The Safest Cities report was compiled using the FBI's crime statistics calculating of every city’s latest violent crime rate, property crime rate, and number of law enforcement officers employed.

More than 2900 cities were analyzed in the report, filtering out any cities with populations of under 10,000.

Cooper City, Lighthouse Point and Weston made the top 20 with Opa Loka and Florida City coming in last on the list.
